Fiber Talk Midweek Chat, 7-31-24

Beth is going to mount this on a slate frame and embellish it.
Beth’s Dawn to Dusk is looking rather stunning.
It’s Wednesday, it’s Beth’s Birthday (21? 22? Not sure, but young), and it’s time to talk about needlework. (We were getting some background feedback during the recording and couldn’t get it to stop. Sorry.) Our topics include the Kathy Andrews conversation about textile art conservation and restoration, our reactions to the Rita Gekht tour of the New Hope Arts Center, Tour de France shows (shall we stitch during the women’s Tour de France?), the benefits of basting, Avlea designs we’re stitching, Jessica Grimm’s needle minder finishing technique, floss drops, slate frames and some beautiful printed cloth Beth is going to embellish, and Beth’s Dawn to Dusk progress. Sunday’s guest is Gail Stafford.–Beth and Gary

Fiber Talk Midweek Chat, 7-17-24

Fantasia: Stitched by Cindy Baldwin, designed by Debbie Rowley
Learn how to make these needle minders from Jessica Grimm at jessicagrimm.com/blog.
We are three sleeps from the weekend, so Cindy and Gary gathered to talk about needlework. This week’s topics include our upcoming Sunday show with Rita Gekht, followed by next week’s Stitch Hour in which Rita will give us a tour of the textile art exhibit at the New Hope Art Center. (Note that in the discussion, Gary got warp and weft mixed up. Warp is the vertical threads and weft is the horizontal.) We also talk about our plans for a Fiber Talk live event in March 2025 (send us your thoughts), basting ground cloth, the Tour de Broderie shows, wool and wool applique from The Woolen Needle, extending your Hardwicke Manor hoop stand, State Fair tips, Jessica Grimm’s needle minder finishing (learn how at https://www.jessicagrimm.com/blog), the value of alphabet samplers, breaking conventional practices when framing, and making ornaments. Sunday’s guest: Rita Gekht–Cindy and Gary
